2. How did ezebee.com first get started?

The idea for ezebee.com was created in the summer of 2012 when the two founders, Ossian and Frank, discussed how small, creative companies and freelancers turn to the internet to promote their business in times of economic crisis. These small business owners spend a lot of time running their online shop, they also have to take care and stay active on spcial media, blogs and online forums. Without taking into account time spent on SEO, speaking to customers and keeping their websites up to date. Ossian and Frank searched the web and could not find anything that really combines a working online selling platform with a strong and active social network. So they decided to create just that, and ezebee.com was launched in February 2013.
